the environment society. on the brink spoke to the. group. this is mary mallon you might know her better as typhoid mary quite possibly the world's most famous super spreader nowlan was an asymptomatic typhoid carrier worked as a cook for wealthy families in new york in the early 20th century she had said that at least 53 others most of them people should prepare the meals for eventually after triggering multiple outbreaks she was tracked down and forcibly quarantined by authorities until her death 3 decades. later. comes forward to the present

a new pandemic and a novel virus what have we learned about super spreaders. welcome to the w.'s covert 19 special i'm joined now the milan thanks for joining us we start in south korea where a few incidences saw individuals spread the disease to hundreds and even thousands so-called super spreading events of the preventive measures in place today measures aimed at groups most likely to infect others students especially seem to be listening the w.'s frank smith reports. that young south koreans are increasingly sensitive to the potential they have to carry and infect others with coded 19 even if they are not suffering from serious symptoms these university students say they do not have the virus and they go out occasionally but behave much differently than they did before the pandemic so it all. i have sensitive

loneliness so i catch a cold often and have a runny nose and sneeze a lot and these may be symptoms of company it also has a systematic cases so i'm afraid that i'll harm others so i'm careful and. so crews concern stems from several events in which individual carriers caused large cluster outbreaks. the plight of the $81.00 shopping and entertainment district in seoul demonstrates the potential economic impact of a super spreader cluster of break in early may reportedly a symptomatic virus carrier visited several bars and nightclubs in the area hundreds became infected with kobe had 19 and businesses here still haven't recovered. the government is now looking to reopen some so-called high risk venues although strict antivirus measures will be enforced because when. so we have
7:19 pm
12 types of facility including night clubs bars and karaoke rooms that are designated high risk in such a place both operator and customer will be required by law to follow prevention guidelines including keeping a visitor log mosques and practicing sort of ventilation and disinfection it was an economy for the transmission of the virus by asymptomatic carriers remains a contentious issue some experts believe so-called super spreaders lied to authorities when they actually had covert $900.00 symptoms still such events have generated stronger adherence to prevention. the taiwan clip incident had the biggest impact on me because the pirates had almost disappeared with a little more care i thought things could get better and i hoped i could go to school next semester it was hard for me to see the current virus situation get serious again after that class the outbreak. south korea's new cases this week again dropped below 50 per day but everyone knows just one event could change the
7:20 pm
situation dramatically joining us now is dr qualities and a key to me although just specializing in infectious respiratory diseases here in germany welcome to our program dr bucholtz now clearly super spreaders have existed before in this history of pandemics is there anything different about the phenomenon of super spreading in today's covert 19 pandemic compared to previous ones well i don't really think so what it is perhaps different to start. now are starting to understand this phenomenon. better. to my mind 3 major 3 important ingredients 1st. person is infectious. so there seem to be a difference between. if they are. in terms of how many. small
7:21 pm
particles they humid and they are infectious and when we measure 10 different persons when they just breathe or speak. at the same center the same words they emit very different amount of these smart particles that are particularly now capable of being inhaled and then getting to the to the deep ours along directly the 2nd ingredient is to 2nd. receive frequently. outbreaks when they have high attack rates that occur in close settings very rally outdoors up close settings and when they are ventilated poorly run when the people have stayed a long time in it. and the men there's a high article and we give to you that say like singing screaming and so on and then the 3rd aspect is of course the. the the person at the other end we're exposed to to the infectious articles so vulnerable people.
7:22 pm
and older age that have certain preconditions when there is a man the croup has a large part of those and then there's a higher chance also all right having iraq right. so we're talking about people settings and susceptibility given that how should one assess the risk when going to well populated areas or attending large events as we know not every mass gathering has resulted in lots of the infections at the same time smaller gatherings have also been known to produce new clusters. the thing is to always behave as if there was an infectious person around or where i am and then it comes down to what i call on the 5 seas as a sort of acronym so number one is. keep your hands clean doesn't affect them regularly and hygiene then the 2nd one is cover your nose and your mouth always
7:23 pm
there are important not just one of them and then obvious real violence is avoid close contact. close contact other persons or close contact settings. then number 4 is. avoid close rooms touch do when they are poorly ventilated that isn't very important issue or analogous and lastly just sees a point probably places is there any way to stop super spreaders and is concentrating on individuals even a sensible strategy. i would not concentrate i believe on the person there but what is probably the more important part is the setting. and there are a number of. arrests out of grace weather has been intense transmission where there was that it wasn't. indoors environment it's also something close doors
7:24 pm
and we have could ventilation and then in addition perhaps some activity that created a lot of articles that say like singing her screaming and such a lot speaking so that these small particles that are able to float in the air and do not drop very rapidly they are can accumulate over time it's also a measure of how much time this group spends in that sort of. setting or room now as public life reawakens in many places in many parts of the world you have bars being reopened and restaurants in gyms it talked about the importance of event aleisha and perhaps like not spending too much time indoors but how will this consumer spending event be prevented from that sort of general public health center point one of the most important ones it depends which wrong you which room you
7:25 pm
choose for which kind of event so if you have a sort of short meeting business meeting you can choose another side type of room then when you are a quiet one to want to rehearse so you perhaps need some some other type of room grabs the ready errors go is drawn away as coming from below a strong will likely sort of cinema sort of since they have often that are concert rooms sometimes they have that so they they should be very careful which kind of room they are so redefining which rooms are fit for which purpose thank you very much a doctor would a book called she specializes in infectious respiratory diseases at the robert clark institute in germany thank you for your insights iraq i'm. and now it's time for your question here is our science correspondent garrick william's.

mother who is a symptomatic breastfeeding. it must be terrifying for the mother of an infant to test positive for a covert 19 whether she displays symptoms or or not because the relationship is such an intimate one physically that it seems highly unlikely that the baby won't contract the disease as well despite the threat though both the w.h.o. and most national health authorities urge mothers who have tested positive for the disease whether they're symptomatic or not to continue to breastfeed because the benefits of breastfeeding and skin to skin contact between mother and child a substantially outweigh any risks associated with covert 19 for the child so it still isn't 100 percent certain that breast milk always remains completely free from the virus but but the evidence indicates that it's not really spread that way
7:27 pm
the mothers who test positive should however follow a list of precautions to try to prevent passing the virus along to their baby if this is an issue for you i recommend really taking the time to read the much more extensive information posted on the w.h.o. and c.d.c. web sites that can actually help calm your fears especially to learn that most newborns and infants who get covert 19 have mild or no symptoms and will eventually as far as we can tell recover fully. and before we let you go london's famous victoria and albert museum reopens this week after the coronavirus shut down and it is getting ready to welcome visitors by putting a bit of sparkle in their lives the art and design to 0 is a readying. and 8 metre high class culture in its entrance hall after closing for 4 months for the pandemic as well as the sculpture made up of $1300.00 pieces of blue
